#Rutgers yanked alum Rami Elghandour’s engineering school graduation invite over pro-Palestine social posts he wasn’t even planning to mention in his speech. We’re watching a livestreamed genocide, and unis are worried about hurting the feelings of people backing it.

"Israeli universities are embedded in the Israeli state’s military-industrial complex and actively contribute to the occupation of Palestinian land and the apartheid and genocide of Palestinian life. German universities and academic institutions serve as strategic partners in the Israeli colonial apparatus."

The University of Oklahoma has shown by its actions of late that it is not a legitimate school and that its academic standards are sub-par at best, based upon the #SamanthaFulnecky debacle.
I think it is time to start filing complaints with the accreditation agency for OU, the Higher Learning Commission.
Complaints can be filed here: https://www.hlcommission.org/for-students/file-a-complaint-against-an-institution/

>> Signatories commit themselves to revising governance structures as necessary to
create such an environment, including but not limited to transforming or abolishing institutional units that
purposefully punish, belittle, and even spark violence against conservative ideas. <<Mandatory coddling of "conservative ideas" is a flagrant assault on academic freedom.
No university should be party to this "compact".

Epistemic Apartheid
Silence! Voices must not infiltrate the rhythmic sounds of war, death, and starvation / yet speak, as loudly as you can! Where your words sync with our massacres, when your unequivocal calls are responded to by the cleansing of your enemies.

The #Trump admin has initiated several investigations into #GMU’s #DEI practices, which has led some at the university to worry that Washington could suffer a similar fate to Ryan. At a board meeting early this month, Washington’s supporters worried the school’s governing body — which is made up entirely of appointees by #Republican Gov #GlennYoungkin — could fire the school’s first #Black president. The board instead gave him a state-mandated raise.

#Texas just gutted #FreeSpeech on #college #campuses. Is your state next?
New laws in the Lone Star State will silence dissent and undermine #faculty authority.
By Laura Benitez and Jonathan Friedman
July 14, 2025"As thousands of students return to college campuses this fall, they will find themselves stepping into an environment reshaped by political and ideological mandates. Across the country, state legislators have been racing to exert new influence over free expression in higher education. Now, Texas has surged to the forefront, closing its 2025 legislative session by passing two alarming laws that take effect Sept. 1.
"Signed by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) in June, the new laws amount to a stunningly aggressive legislative crackdown on campus protest (#SB2972) and academic shared governance (#SB37) at public colleges and universities. The laws will not just silence dissent and undermine faculty authority in Texas; they provide a blueprint for how to dismantle academic freedom and chill speech on campus state by state.
"Only a few years ago, conservative lawmakers railed against college 'free-speech zones,' arguing that liberal administrators were muzzling students on the rest of campus. In 2019, Texas legislators joined other states in taking action by declaring all outdoor spaces on public campuses open for protest and speech by students, employees and the general public.
"Now, some of the same legislators have done an about-face. The campus protest law actually directs public colleges and universities to implement a version of free-speech zones and adopt sweeping limitations on protests. #Encampments? Banned. #Megaphones or #speakers during 'class hours'? Forbidden — if anyone claims your 'expressive activity' is one that 'intimidates others' or 'interferes' with an employee’s duties. Even wearing a mask during a protest — something many do for safety — could land a student or employee a disciplinary hearing resulting in 'sanctions.' And any expressive activity between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. is off-limits altogether."

At the same time, a proposal making its way through #Congress that would increase #taxes on #university #endowments could cost #Harvard an estimated $850 million a year.
The wider #academic community was shocked at Thursday’s move by the #Trump Admin. In a statement, Sally Kornbluth, president of the #MIT, called it a “grave moment.”
